Man killed in shooting at house party

Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police are questioning attendees of a party where a 20-year-old male was shot to death Sunday morning.

As many as 100 or more people were attending the party on Florida Avenue in East Savannah when Marray Martin of a Davidson Avenue address was shot. He was pronounced dead at Memorial University Medical Center.

Islands Precinct patrol officers responded to a call of shots fired at the house to find screaming attendees fleeing. First responders struggled to get through the crowd to the darkened room where Martin was found.

SCMPD investigators worked through the night questioning attendees. Their investigation continues.

Some attendees left before police could talk to them. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at (912) 234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). In the body type, include “CStop2020” plus the tip. Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.

A confidential Tip Line also is open directly to investigators at (912) 525-3124. Callers preferring to speak directly to the detectives without reward potential can arrange private discussions.
